Marine Equipment Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenderbuoyancy Fenders
What is Pneumatic Rubber Fender?
The "Yokohama Type Pneumatic Rubber Fender" was developed in 1958.
Progress in the development of such floating pneumatic rubber
fenders is closely related to the progress and development of ship
technology, and has to continuously cope with progressively larger
oil tankers such as VLCC's, ULCC's, large gas carriers, bulk
carriers and floating structures. Floating pneumatic fenders are
used world wide for ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations,
terminals, and for all kinds of ships. Since its creation until
today, more than millions of fenders have been supplied worldwide
both for ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock (STD) operations serving our
valuable customers. These fenders play a critical role in the safe
operation of ship berthing and mooring
